Araby‚ like the other stories in Dubliner‚ ‘ has both penetrating realism and a symbolic function ‘ ‚ as Michael Thorpe has rightly observed is his brief Introduction to Joyce in Modern Prose . Graphic and authentic picture of life in the city of Dublin in the days of the author’s childhood and early youth constitutes the solid basis of reality on which the story grows and flourishes.
